My stash just grew again (2012).

Cheers for the info about the radar Red Tops folks! 

From ebay today: 1/72nd Airfix Martin B-57B/RB-57E Canberra 

Question: is this a reboxing of the Italeri kit?

[The Wooksta!]

No.  Airfix stupidly retooled their Canberra B(I)6 to a B57 in the late 70s, destroying the original in the process.  Hence no goldfish bowl canopy version in mainstream injection.  Ok, it weren't brilliant but better than nowt.

yesterday, i added a Revell 1/144 Airbus A320 to the stash.
this will be converted into a light Air Refueling tanker

Yesterday got a 1/72 Revell PT167 torpedo boat for £6.99 down from £18.....bargain....although the sale stock in my MZ at Crawley has virtually gone......

Lee's comments are correct ref the Airfix Cranberry. The tooling was butchered into the B-57 while Airfix was part of the Mattel empire. Aimed squarely at getting the brand a better footing within the American market.
For what its worth, the Italeri B-57 is a better kit.

May be we should all start putting down for a Canberra B-6 on the wish list that Airfix normally have on their stand at SMW.

Sounds like a plan to me

[Thorvic]

Don't forget they switched from the wish list to request forms, more organised but less successful as people were often inspired by seeing what others had put

However an Airfix 1/72 EE Canberra B.6 is crying out to be done and one i will be requesting 

[PR19_Kit]

May be we should all start putting down for a Canberra B-6 on the wish list that Airfix normally have on their stand at SMW.

With a conversion kit for a PR7 included perhaps? Or as an add-on like the recent Valiant B(PR)K1?

[Weaver]

Cheers Lee! 

Wish list for a new-tool B.6 sounds like a plan...

Went on a spending spree recently ... mostly from Ebay

1/96th Eastern Express Bristol Britannia but I want the decals for the Magna Hunting Percival Pembroke (1/72nd - but hey who knows they may fit !). Not sure what I'll do with Brittania though.

Also got a SuperModels Cant Z 1007 Alcione - been after one of these for sometime.
An Arado E555 - soon to become a Yokosuha E555Y1 'California bomber'
talking of Yokosuha I also picked up Valom D3Y1-K - a bit basic but ...
Also on the Japanese theme  an A+V resin Tachhikawa Ki-74 plus their Rikugun Ki-93
One I'd never seen before MTS resin Kawasaki Ki-61-II - looks very nice with a brass fret and clean resin. Got this from Germany along with an FE Resin Fairchild 91 Seaplane.

Also picked up an MSV Sukhoi Su-12 - not my genre but such a weird but lovely looking aircraft just had to buy it. The opposite could be said of the Blackburn Blackburd - a rectangular torpedo biplane of 1918. Ugly is not the word - nice resin by Karaya.

Then there two cheap PM models the FW Ta-154 and the Horton Ho-229 A-1 (more Japanese crossovers ?)

And finally again an impulse buy an S-300 PMU Sa-10 Grumble missile lorry. No idea why - I don't do vehicles, still it's only the wife's housekeeping money, who needs to eat anyway ?

They got there ok then Andy ? Didn't realise a fellow wiffer had helped me with my stash scale down

The Brittana would make a great maritime patrol aircraft.
Won on eBay
1/24 Aoshima MGB Roadster with etched parts and chrome bumpers.
OO/Ho Lima Loading set with gantry container crane. I know this set was more of a toy, but with a bit of tweaking would fit nicely on my 'Inch McColm' project. Just means I've got to rethink the layout, from a continuous loop to an end to end (L-shape).
As to the roadster, I'm not sure if there was a V8 roadster ever built. I know there was the GT V8 and the RV8. I've seen enclosed headlights similar to the ones used on the Jaguar E-type and the Italians had a go at redesigning the MGB.
I might just build this one straight from the box.
